host_seq_bmp is allocated with vzalloc but is currently freed with
bitmap_free, which uses kfree internally. This mismach prevents the
resource from being released properly and may result in memory leaks
or other issues.

Fix this by freeing host_seq_bmp with vfree to match the vzalloc
allocation.

Thanks for fixing this. I must have missed this from when the bitmap was 
reworked.
